Black Magical Circle of Witches is a cover of the japanese cult Sabbat (from the Karmagmassacre album), featuring Matt War (Wastelander) on vocals to fit better the evil and satanic vibe of the song. First intended to appear on a long time delayed tribute album, that finally happened a few days after it was decided to release the song on a 7", so it's not forgotten in the abyss. On B-side appear 2 songs, recorded at the Hawk Nest. Evil Essence, an alternative recording than on the Defenders of the Filth album, and Ladycutter, this time recorded at it was meant to be first : with real guitar leads, and not organ.
And once again, the band did a real and unique cover, a studio photograph revealing the secrets of a black magical circle of witches...
7" EP limited to 500 copies on bronze vinyl.
